For starters, I'm a newbie... My site and other info are as follows: http://www.airplanesandwich.com PHP 4.x I feel my questions should be easy to answer, but after browsing through the forums, I haven't found anything that really fits my questions, so I figured I'd ask for help. Here are my questions: 1) How do I add captions to lightbox when I'm using the sidebar plugins? If you see my site, you'll see what I mean. Click the thumbnail in the Sidebar, or Sidebar Grid and you get the lightbox effect, but I'd like to add captions to it, to explain the images... I checked out this and this but they didn't seem to be exactly what I was looking for or talking about, so I decided to not screw with them. 2) On my homepage, I'd like to just have the Sidebar Block shown and then, on the "portfolio" page, have the Sidebar Grid Block shown. How can I set this up? (I'd imagine it'd be using the stylesheet for each page, and just calling the function, right?) 3) How do I show more than one album at a time using the Sidebar Grid Block? To explain, on my portflio page, I'd like to have my graphic design album shown, then right below it, another album, of random artwork, photographs, etc. Is this possible? I think that's it... Any help is greatly appreciated, even if it's just to point me in directions... most of my site setup has been bouncing around various sites learning how things work... hopefully in the next few months, I'll be able to do a fresh new WP theme using all the stuff I've learned... Thanks! -Matt |

Hiya airplanesandwich,
1) We only return the Title into Lightbox for now.. Additional functionality will be developed in WPG2 3.1 when we move away from using Gallery2 Imageblock, which is pretty limited in what data it returns.
2) Hmmmmm I think you might be able to do this inside your Wordpress Theme by doing a is_page() and then displaying the sidebar block or grid.. The Wordpress Codex has details on how to do the page detection..
3) You can directly specify sidebargrid function call and using a is_page or is_category, again see the Wordpress Codex for more information on conditional tags
Hope this helps..

Cool, I'll check them out... I also find out that I can adding a break after the title and pasting the description after that does basically what I want... Thanks!
